I've got a 2007 PreRunner and it is now 2013. I just hit 15k miles on it.

I get regular oil changes and so on, but I'm wondering. Should I be getting like the 50 or 60k mile service done due to the age of the truck ?

Or should I only be doing the 15k mile service?

I've looked at the guide, but I'm not that savvy as many of you. I know I certainly cannot do the spark plugs on my own.

Thank you

I'd say brake fluid and filters as part of 15k service. I dont think spark plugs are necessary yet, they dont go bad from age just mi IMO. Has it been in storage? that could factor in. Tires could be cracking too?

Tires are new, the BFG were rotting. Got some LTX MS2s.
It was part of a fleet before I got it from Carmax.

The rest of the items on the list say "inspect" or are in the special operating conditions section. I've pulled a very light trailer with a couple dirt bikes and have very little off road use (in fact, just dirt roads at that not 4WD stuff). Seems like I wouldn't have to worry about the special operating section. I'm curious how a dealer handles the special operating conditions service items. Do they only do it if they think it has been used to tow or offroad, or do they do it regardless?

How do you inspect the front differential oil and transfer case? Pop the top bolt, check fluid level, and if the oil looks good?

ok first off im a newbie .. I cant find any info on this so im hoping someone will have some .. I have a 2011 Tacoma 4 door I have noticed people driving with their center parking lights on when I turn my parking lights on they come on at the corner not the center that is my turn signals ? how is this happening ive seen the fog light mod but this isn't a mod I don't believe

Does your rig have the daytime running lights? Sounds like it doesn't because the "center parking light" you refer to is the DRL I believe.

My question, looking at the spark plug pics: Do you guys reduce the torque wrench setting? Using the anti-sieze and extensions on the ratchet will skew the actual torque applied to the plug to the high side IIRC...

just finished all basics on my 08/4cyl.i have 154000km .bought used so i chngd rear end fluid/tranny fluid,@ 135km.did plugs /serp belt/rad fluid.@ 150km,all filters changed as well.saved quite a bit on parts/labour.wasn't all that hard either.chkd brakes when i put on snows,it's not rocket science,decent set of tools/patience.buy quality parts..ask friends if not sure how to..

Just started my 60,000 mile maintenance. Put the K&N drop in air filter today, plan to do the limited slip dif oil sometime next week, as for the other stuff i'll have to wait until I go to my parents house to use my dad's tools. How hard is it to re-torque the propeller shaft bolt? the diagrams confused me?
